"You call this 'a bit frequent'? This is clearly grinding us to death!"

"At the beginning, we had a ten-minute rest. Now it's three minutes? The Game System's algorithm must have learned from the delivery times of food delivery platforms."

Wang Linchi felt this was a real grind.

What was more important was that this event lasted for a month, which he thought was not something a normal person could endure.

This was the third day. While Wang Linchi found Hanging Up monotonous, Ye Tian, on the other hand, grew increasingly ferocious in battle, giving Wang Linchi the impression that he had awakened an ability to grow stronger the more he fought.

Now the bosses came one after another, and Wang Linchi even suspected that the Game System had directed all the bosses toward him.

After three days of combat, Ye Tian had become stronger and stronger by exchanging for personal buffs and Cards. Initially, their Boss Points were split sixty-forty, with Wang Linchi getting the larger share. Now, it was different: Wang Linchi received forty percent, and Ye Tian sixty.

If it weren't for his primary income from the Saint Master, he would have already considered abandoning the team and going solo.

"Frequent? It's alright," Ye Tian said only after he had slain this boss.

He thought the treatment was very good. After all, he had never fought such a rewarding battle. He didn't have to worry about dying, his vitality was endless, and he could personally kill those powerful Abyssal Demons in the future. On top of that, he constantly grew stronger. As long as he completed this event, his strength would definitely skyrocket.

With the Special Attack Effect from the Cards, combined with the high attributes he had plundered and numerous Skills from his own class, he was undoubtedly the most powerful presence.

As for the equipment, he didn't really care much for it, so he chose Skill Fragments. The Equipment Fragments he gave to Wang Linchi.

In this regard, he had also asked Wang Linchi if he wanted to switch, but Wang Linchi had refused.

It wasn't that Wang Linchi didn't want them, but he had discovered something: he could learn Skills without a Skill Book and could acquire them directly by using a plug-in with the mini-assistant. The downside was that he might get banned.

This meant that the game character itself actually came with Skill data, but it was locked and needed to be self-activated. The activation process, naturally, required a Skill Book.

Wang Linchi could unlock all of them by skipping the activation process. He had discovered this when he was bored while Hanging Up for three days and analyzed it with the mini-assistant.

In these three days, he was not only analyzing but also learning modern knowledge, such as biology, chemistry, and other subjects. He was also collecting information on various policies, history, and other matters.

The former was to improve himself. The latter was to prepare for future rebellions—whether his own, assisting others, or sabotaging them—and other related matters.

Who knew what the next world would be like?

Through absorbing some modern knowledge, Wang Linchi still found some deficiencies in himself. However, he did not immediately optimize them; after all, he had only just begun to learn.

"Are you sure? Can you handle this high-intensity battle?" Wang Linchi asked back.

Ye Tian touched his nose, gave a wry smile, and said, "Definitely not, but with so many rewards, you have to grit your teeth and push through, right?"

"Does gritting your teeth actually help with this?" Wang Linchi was flabbergasted.

This was purely a matter of stamina consumption; surely he wasn't afraid of overexertion?

"If you can handle it, I naturally can too," Ye Tian teased, then said, "After this event, I should be able to solo a level 20 Abyss Difficulty dungeon."

"Seriously? Can't you have greater ambitions? Level 30 at least," Wang Linchi found that this guy seemed to have an increasingly clearer perception of himself.

He shook his head. "There's still a gap."

"Alright." Wang Linchi didn't dwell on this aspect because a new boss was crawling out of the Abyssal Gap again.

After three days of bloody battle, if it weren't for the Game System refreshing the monster corpses, there might be no place left to stand by now.

"The number of Players is dwindling. Players showed some interest on the first day, but by the second and third, most were thoroughly bored."

"Now, most of those who remained were affiliated with major player organizations." Wang Linchi knew this was not a good thing.

This event served as a training ground while also allowing Players to develop further.

Initially, things were indeed tough. However, with coordination and cooperation, they managed to make progress. Following Ye Tian's strategy, the first step was to exchange for personal buffs to ensure their attributes met the requirements. Then, they acquired Cards to further expand their combat effectiveness. Moreover, these Cards were not only useful for events but could also be effective in Abyss Difficulty dungeons.

Ye Tian remained silent; unlike Wang Linchi, he didn't have the leisure for idle thoughts.

Only after slaying the boss did he speak. "Don't rush; the Game System will surely implement some measures."

Actually, Ye Tian had made efforts too. He posted several simple strategies on the forum and shared some Card attributes, explaining their functions to reignite Player enthusiasm. However, compared to the overall Player base, this was still too little.

"What measures could possibly affect reality? Surely they can't expect various nations to intervene; that's unrealistic," Wang Linchi remarked casually.

"Let's drop this topic. I have some strange feelings about this event," Ye Tian said, switching the subject.

"Strange?" Wang Linchi's brow furrowed. He still had considerable faith in the Game System. It might try to rip them off, but there was no need for it to harm them. If it truly wanted to act against them, it wouldn't need to be so convoluted.

"Remember the question I asked you earlier? What if one day these monsters appeared in the real world?" said Ye Tian.

Wang Linchi nodded. "Yes, what of it?"

"What I mean is, perhaps someone was coordinating with these monsters, intending to invade the game's main city. However, the Game System caught on and took control, which is why this event is happening," Ye Tian explained vaguely.

Regarding the appearance of this Abyss invasion event, he actually had an answer. It was undoubtedly because Wang Linchi had cleared three Abyss Difficulty dungeons ahead of schedule, causing the Game System to suffer an Abyss counterattack. However, it managed to block all the subsequent Abyssal Demons, only allowing level 10 ones to enter.

For the second and third waves, the intensity would surely escalate. It was like a protective net; each wave of Abyssal Demons allowed through was restricted. They had to meet the corresponding level requirements. This way, they could be gradually dealt with.

The Abyss Difficulty dungeon world was said to be the world where the Abyss resided, merely trapped by the System's power. However, the System was not omnipotent and was currently being drained of its power by the Abyss.

As for infiltrators, they had always existed. While the Game System was resisting the Abyss, the Abyss, in turn, was also eroding the game world and the real world.

Thus, quite a few people in the shadows had already pledged allegiance to the Abyss, some of whom had even held high positions.

Various countries had entered the 'God-given World.' Actually, Ye Tian also deserved credit for this. Early in his reincarnation, he had schemed to expose several high-ranking members of Chen Country who had pledged loyalty to the Abyss. Through this, he even allowed Chen Country to learn the truth about the Abyss invasion and the impending fusion of the game with reality.

However, this truth was concealed and did not spread, mainly out of fear of causing mass panic.

Therefore, this time, even if the Game System didn't interfere, Chen Country itself would have vigorously promoted the participation of ordinary people in the game's events.

As for whether any high-ranking officials had once again been corrupted and eroded by the Abyss, Ye Tian wasn't sure. He was currently fully focused on enhancing his own power and had no time for such thoughts.

Besides, these were merely stopgap measures, not a fundamental solution.

Wang Linchi was a bit bewildered by Ye Tian's words. Was he referring to reality or the game?

However, he didn't ask. If Ye Tian didn't want to share, he wouldn't reply even if asked. Instead, he changed the subject. "Oh, such matters are not for a hired hand like me to worry about. You should focus on how we're going to deal with this boss. I feel like the time has shortened again; they only give us two minutes of rest now, right?"

Wang Linchi watched as another boss crawled out.

Ye Tian converted all his points into Random Card items from the store. Without even looking at what Card he received, he immediately charged forward to attack.

It seemed that the newly acquired Card had induced some qualitative changes in Ye Tian's attributes. The boss, under his sword, was dispatched as easily as an Elite Monster. It died so quickly it couldn't even trigger its second phase before being killed.

Only after killing this boss did Ye Tian speak again. "I believe I can now solo a boss."

"Really? Is there something you need?" Wang Linchi asked.

"Let's split up. You hold the line here while I go support in other directions. This way, our team bonus won't decrease, and we won't delay our efficiency in gathering points." Ye Tian knew that their rewards would diminish if they continued working together at this stage.

Once they split up, both could farm individually, acquiring Skill Fragments and Equipment Fragments, as well as full points, Experience, and Abyss Crystals.
